Volunteering Geelong is an independent not-for-profit organisation that is committed to enhancing the quality of life in the community, through the promotion and support of volunteering.

Volunteering Geelong was established in 1998 through the identification, by a number of individuals and members of the Geelong Volunteer Network (GVN), of the need for a "one stop shop" for volunteer recruitment and support.

Volunteering Geelong & Volunteering Victoria with support from City Of Greater Geelong hosted a launch of the Manager of Spontaneous Emergency Volunteer (MSEV) G21 Pilot. The event, held in National Volunteer Week on May 12, 2015 at the Carousal, was attended by over 50 people. Special guests included, Emergency Management Commissioner, Craig Lapsley (far right), Parliamentary Secretary Gabrielle Williams (centre), and Simon Ramsay MLC. Pictured below are some of the MSEV volunteers and project team members, who as part of the program, have been trained to support volunteers during emergency relief and recovery phases of emergencies in the G21 region.
